1. What is the formula for calculating the volume of a solid object?

• A. V = W/L
• B. V = L x W x H
• C. V = W/H
• D. V = L/W

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct formula for calculating the volume of a solid object is V = L x W x H, where L represents the length, W represents the width, and H represents the height. Choice A (V = W/L) is incorrect as it represents a division operation, not multiplication. Choice C (V = W/H) is incorrect as it does not account for the width and height. Choice D (V = L/W) is incorrect as it represents the inverse operation of what is needed to calculate volume.

2. Convert 5 kilograms to grams.

• A. 50 grams
• B. 500 grams
• C. 5,000 grams
• D. 50,000 grams

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 5 kilograms is equal to 5,000 grams. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert the given amount of kilograms to grams.

3. How many liters are in 3,000 milliliters?

• A. 0.3 liters
• B. 30 liters
• C. 3 liters
• D. 0.03 liters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 3,000 milliliters / 1,000 = 3 liters. Choice A '0.3 liters' is incorrect as it represents 300 milliliters, not 3,000. Choice B '30 liters' is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying by 10 instead of dividing by 1,000. Choice D '0.03 liters' is incorrect as it represents 30 milliliters, not 3,000.

4. What does the prefix 'Tera' refer to?

• A. 10^12
• B. 10^9
• C. 10^15
• D. 10^6

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The prefix 'Tera' corresponds to a factor of 10^12, which is equivalent to one trillion. It is commonly used in various fields like data storage to denote large quantities. Choice B, '10^9,' is incorrect as it corresponds to the prefix 'Giga.' Choice C, '10^15,' is incorrect as it corresponds to the prefix 'Peta.' Choice D, '10^6,' is incorrect as it corresponds to the prefix 'Mega.' Therefore, the correct answer is A.

5. Convert 0.29 pounds to ounces.

• A. 2.9 ounces
• B. 4.64 ounces
• C. 29 ounces
• D. 46.4 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert pounds to ounces, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Multiplying 0.29 pounds by 16 gives you 4.64 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (2.9 ounces) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the conversion factor of 16 ounces per pound. Choice C (29 ounces) and Choice D (46.4 ounces) are incorrect because they incorrectly interpret the conversion from pounds to ounces.
